Solved Waves IDX Dynamics plugin and Studio One 7.1

[dalemccl]

Anyone here using Waves IDX Dynamics plugin? I have it one some tracks in the song I have been working on. After the update to 7.1, Studio One says it is not installed. I removed the plugin from the tracks, closed S1, re-installed IDX via Wave Central, restarted Studio One with a plugin rescan. IDX shows up the the FX browser but dragging it to the insert area on an audio track does nothing.

Do you use the VST3 or AU version of Waves IDX Dynamics?

Also, are you on the latest plug-in version? There are still Waves plug-ins don't officially support Studio One 7 yet....

Lukas, thanks for the reply. I use VST3. I have the latest plugin version. It was working with S1 7.0 and the problem occurred immediately after updating to 7.1

By the way, I thought I put my post in the 7.1 thread but somehow didn't.

I am using it. VST3 is working for me in 7.1.

Have you rebooted? Not to be snarky, I had to after installing 7.1 to get everything working as it did before.

I hadn't rebooted but just now did, and then re-scanned the plugins. Unfortunately the problem still exists. Thanks for the suggestion though.

How do you do the rescan? From the Plug-In Manager or by letting it do a scan at every startup? The latter is necessary after a plug-in update. I had the same issue with several Waves plug-ins.

I rescan at startup.

This sounds like a hiccup in the Wavesshell. I would use rhe complete clean uninstall in Waves Central, reboot the system and install again. To be sure, remove the plugins-en.settings file from the settings folder as well before scanning again.

Thanks. Do you mean uninstall the IDX plugin or Waves Central or the Wavesshell?

All Waves pkugins using the clean uninstall option in Waves Central (I think it is in settings).

I found a "Repair" in Wave Central's settings. It said it would reinstall all plugins. After that re-install. a PC reboot, and a startup VST scan in S1, the problem still happens.

I highly recommend following Monobrowser's advice and doing a complete clean uninstall/re-install. There are instructions on the Waves website that tell how to do this. In my decades of using Waves products, I have yet to encounter a problem that a clean uninstall/install couldn't solve. FWIW IDX is working here with 7.1 and Windows 10.

 

[Monobrowser]

Below the repair option is the clean uninstall option. Use that.

Solution:

"Please go to the Waves Central installer and in the options, click on Repair. Also, make sure Studio One is rescanning the plugins, in Studio One > View > Plugin manager, press the Remove Plug-in Settings button and the Update Plug-ins button list.
If the plugin still does not work, please reach out to Waves to troubleshoot. "


When I clicked "Remove Plug-in Settings" in Plugin Manager, it restarted S1. I had it set to scan at startup so after the restart and scan, I was able to use Waves IDX. I did not have to click the "Update Plug-ins" button as instructed.
